If you worked two days a week for me I would probably not give you benefits. Maybe this simply isn't a good fit for you, OP.[/quote]

[quote]OP isn't asking for benefits. She is asking for steady income which is completely reasonable and she should definitely try to negotiate it, especially since your MB is a professor and will have some very long breaks. You should also ask for paid holidays that fall on your usual work days. If you haven't negotiated pay yet, go in higher than you need. When she balks, lower your rate to something reasonable but ask for guaranteed hoursor some kind of MUTUAL swapping arrangement (ie. she doesn't need you, you make up hours, or you get sick and can make up hours) and holidays that fall during your work days.[/quote]

First, this is asking for benefits. Second, please do the math before agreeing to swap guaranteed hours for 4 weeks of not working with a lower rate. Look at the formula below. You make more with A which is the no pay for 4 weeks but $1 higher rate.

A. 16 hours X $12 =$192 per week, $192 X 48 weeks = $9,216
B. 16 hours X $11 =$176 per week, $192 X 52 weeks = $9,152[/quote]
